Big Things Planned In Uganda

Published: January - 2007

Another country that appeared on our radar screen this month is Uganda. To be sure, limited ranch-style hunting has been going on here for some time through a company called Game Trails Uganda, operated by PH Kaka Matama. Also, German booking agent Chris Weth has made repeated noises about opening concession hunts here, though to date none of his efforts have yielded concrete results.

What's new this month in Uganda is the emergence there of well-known PH Steve Rann and an American by the name of Dave Beisner, who have formed a partnership with Matama. Big things are planned, Rann told us in an e-mail last month. He writes:

Dave Beisner and I have been working with Kaka Matama and Game Trails Uganda Ltd. over the last couple of years to help him market and develop the game ranch hunting operation in Uganda. Now, we are going to take things to another level.
